Sexy Texts For Dirty Minds

Sexting is a relatively new hype, which came along with the widespread popularity of mobile phones, and especially smartphones with their amazingly user-friendly apps. Dating apps have a big role in the diffusion of sexting in the mainstream. We’re not just saying that. Sexting is really a habit that many adults tried at least once in their lifetime, with a study carried out at Drexel University, indicating a number as high as 9 out of 10 people admitting to have sexed recently.

Perhaps the number sounds a little exaggerated, but this might be a consequence of the way the term sext has been defined for the purposes of this survey. Any message that included sexual innuendos, to more straight-forward flirting and sexually explicit content was included in the definition of sexting.

Many of the articles about sexting are focused on the possible threats an allegedly exaggerated sexual behavior may pose especially to teens. It’s way beyond this post’s aim to figure out what is and what isn’t good for teenagers. On the other hand, let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, as sexting has its incontestable benefits.

According to the study mentioned above, there are strong indications that sexting and relationship satisfaction are intertwined. About 3 of 4 people who sexed at least once in their lives, sent kinky messages to their long-term partners. Almost half of the study’s naughty texters said that they sexed with their partners while in a casual relationship. In both cases, the responses suggests that sexting is a good way to heat things up in the bedroom. On top of that, the data suggests what we were all probably guessing: sexting is not popular only among hormone-ridden teenagers as many popular opinions seem to claim.

Sexting is ultimately a form of flirting that, for better and for worse, consenting adults are engaging in. Is sexting a worrying new trend? There is no straight answer to this question. It depends. As long as you’re having a good time exchanging messages with a love interest you maybe met on an online dating site, then there’s hardly any harm in that. Moreover, as long as no one is sending unsolicited dick pics, or being otherwise offensive, we can say we have a good starting point for fun.

When done properly, sexting can lead to a better sex life. For those in a long term relationships, an exchange of dirty messages on the way back from work is a fun way to spice things up and find each other at home, all hot and ready for some action. For fans of casual flings, sexting can work wonders too. Grab your phone and see if you can light up a flame with your new found match.

It looks like sexting is one more online dating trend that stirs a lot of negative reactions, making it more difficult to consider its potential benefits. With studies such as the one at Drexel University we will get a better picture about what a couple of kinky messages can do for a good sex life. As long as almost everyone is doing it, we may as well learn to do it right, rather than dismiss sexting altogether.
